is it more difficult for educated people to find a partner? (63)
DonauAttika, Attica Greece5 Threads 283 PostsCongratulations, to all of you-its unbelievable how the level of the threads in here have changed the last two-three months. Its really worth spending time on reading the comments, one can even learn from them. The themes have become much more interesting and I really enjoy reading them.I can read and understand all of it, but unluckily I am not allways in the position to express my opinion or my feelings towards the sayings, and that happens just because my English is not allways good enough to express what I want.But still I can enjoy everything and I understand that most of the people taking part in the conversations must be quite educated and that makes me wonder even more, why they are here. Isn't it strange that there should be so many educated people in a forum like that? Is it more difficult to find a partner if you have higher expectations in the spiritual level of your partner?

Donau, an interesting thought. But a little confusing to me .. you start with Education... and end with Spiritual level of partner? The two are seperate entities I think?
Why would the education of a person be pertinent to whether they are single or not? Unless maybe the guy is so poor cause he`s got no education and cant get a job, so he cant afford a laundry or dish washing machine so he marries one? LOL!
Spiritual level? .... Nah, I don`t think that is an issue either .... unless one of them goes off into some sort of extreme cult worship in la-la-land thing and the other remains with two feet on the ground - then they sort of un-evenly-yoked and could cause problems in communication and other stuff.
Ideally ... and nothing is ever ideal .... same level of education, and same spiritual level would be perfect ..... maybe...
... but then again - a bit dull? As I said ... an interesting thread ... needs some thinking about.
I`d say ideally they should just like the same food, and have the same libido level...
Yes Smoky I suppose you are right-as ever I brought my ideas a bit confusing-but as I said, its my English that does not really help me allways.My question really was, if people who have a good education(since it seems that there are a lot of them here) have more difficulties to find a partner.

If I had to write in german .....or italian, or french, or afrikaans, or zulu .... I could never express properly what I am trying to convey! It is only in my mother tongue that I feel free to do this.
So, Donau - you write exceptionally well, and you get your meaning across very well. It`s only me who nit-picks (like picking lice - an english expression for being painful about details). And because I like the meaning of your thread I just asked if you are asking One, or Two, questions?
I don`t know how you got the idea that there are lot of educated people here .... I think I am about the only Realy Educated Person here ..... (that is just to encourage them to answer this thread) ...
...So you see, even though the majority are uneducated, unlike me, they too, like me, are single!

Smoky you naughty girl!! 
Oh Smoky Cocky i really like your sense of humour..
That is a phenomenon I have experienced ...... the good looking guy, who, once he begins to speak ...... well, to put it simply, leaves much to be desired! Seems good looks and intelligence do not necessarily come wrapped in one package?
As the saying says - there is more to life than what you can see.

Well actually, I did initially type in "myself excepted", and then deleted it, so as not to give the impression that I consider myself unique and superior and to demoralise the rest of you ..... but I see that it does seem to be necessary to build in these self-defence mechanisms when dealing with the hoi-poloi who seek small crevices in which to jam their climbing boots to hoist themselves up the cliff-face of self-esteem.....?

Now that's telling 'em 
Yes Conrad ..... Sometimes Î am forced to tell them who just do not believe, with simple faith, the truth of the words I am always trying to instill, in my subtle ways......

Depends on what you intend with educated people. 99% are educated here, and have an idea of what a computer is.
Then if you mean 'those that score an IQ above average' I'd say they generally tend to find it difficult even to socialise with the everyday jerk on the street. Then it would take quite some learning for someone that's quite intelligent to have the patience to stick around people with far less IQ, figure out how would they stand a relation with them.
Well I don't know, just sometimes I can see that a lot of people here know more than what a computer is(even I have learned that),but reading the threads sometimes I really get impressed.Or is everything just a copy of wikopedia?I don't really know.You tell me

Does it really matter here on CS? And yes, there is a lot of copying and pasting, but even that in itself doesn't necessarily mean the copier isn't intelligent, though I personally dislike reading over long texts copied and pasted without any sensible personal comments.
I think your main concern was your perceived poor use of English, this is an International site and this forum in particular has many members for whom English is not their native language. We still communicate well and at the end of the day we all (at least the vast majority) have one thing in common don't we?
You are right about the English not being my native language.And it gives me some troubles. Never mind,I do my best and anyway I still enjoy reading what all of you have to say. Thank you Jan!

This thread reminds me of childhood as I'm from a kingdom. Once a group of ladies (Girls) from my tribe studying at the university came back to the village n complained to the king that "Men from my tribe r not interested to marry them because they r educated" Some said it was bcause they (ladies) will have to argue on any issue that was funny.
I think it's still the same nowadays still the same.
In my case I don't mind whether educated or not u r welcome.

"Is it more difficult to find a partner if you have higher expectations in the spiritual level of your partner?
--- I suppose if that is the case one should look again at ones own spirituality
it's bloody hard being un-educated as well.. so not sure about that..
